The Villain's Redemption

"Ummm… Elder Mo? Can you hear me? Your disciple Dong Hu is here to greet his master." Again, the voice echoed. Fang Yu immediately froze when she heard the name. Dong Hu the villain?

"Isn't that your disciple?" She spoke, interrupting his kisses.

"Let him wait." He grumbled and kissed her again.

"I— I don't think that's a very good idea." Fang Yu smiled. "Why don't you entertain your guest? I will wait for you here?" This is the future villain, alright? Mo Li needed to do his role and not interrupt with this person's growth. "And… please don't kill him." She said.

He frowned, his eyes squinting at her.

"The Sect Master wanted you to train this person. Please don't let my master down." She managed to say.

"Alright… Alright…" He sighed. "You will compensate later?" It wasn't even a question. Or at least, she knew he was never asking a question but making an order. This man…

She smiled while shaking her head inwardly. "I will take a bath and wait for you." Seeing her reddened, Mo Li gave a satisfied smile before leaving the cave.

Fang Yu let out a sigh. It seems that she would be stuck with this routine until her own disciple will arrive in about three months?

'Bee? You never issue any quests… in this world. Is there a problem?'

[Quests will only activate once the Host will meet the main lead and villain.]

'Oh. That seems reasonable. After all, this robot is designed to help out the male lead.' She mumbled inwardly.

….

Meanwhile Mo Li's face was still as dark as ever when he opened his formation to his disciple. He looked at Dong Hu who was wearing an all black loose robe.

"My apologies elder… but…" Dong Hu avoided Mo Li's gaze. "When I told them that I am your disciple they didn't believe me and refused to accompany me in your cave."

"Next time they disrespect you. You can kill them." Mo Li said, surprising the young man. "Why are you here? I remember telling you to come one month from now."

"Elder…"

"Call me master."

"Yes Master." Dong Hu was a young good looking man with black hair and black swordlike brows. His eyes seemed extremely intelligent and arrogant. However, in front of Mo Li, he could only act like a meek kitten after all, this man was a very powerful individual who healed his grandfather. Just the thought of the old man made Dong Hu's face darken.

"What's wrong?" Mo Li raised an eyebrow as he sat on one of the chairs made of ice. "Sit."

"They— " Dong Hu lowered his head, gulping as he fought the tears from falling in his cheek. "Master… they killed my family." He then got on his knees with a loud thud and started kowtowing to Mo Li. "I beg my master to help me avenge my family. I beg my master to help me. In return, I will serve master for eternity."

"You are not my type."

"…" Mo Li's answer made his pupils shook. Of course, Dong Hu was not talking about that kind of serving. He was hoping to become this man's bodyguard or servant. "Please master… I can be your servant forever!"

Mo Li snorted. "Foolish child." He waved his hand and immediately started brewing some tea. "If I kill them… do you think it will satisfy you?"

Tears immediately started pooling in Dong Hu's eyes. Would that satisfy him? Of course not!

"If you want to have your revenge then… get stronger and kill them. Use your own efforts and kill them with your own hands." He sneered. "Do you think asking for someone's help to kill them would make you happy in the and? Fool."

"Master… please guide this disciple." Another thud echoed as Dong Hu gave another kowtow.

"Did they want to kill you because of your heavenly spirit root?" Mo Li asked. Of course, that was the only reason why someone would want to kill someone like Dong Hu. Because of the rarity of the Heavenly spirit root, many people from the rich family would want to steal someone's spirit root and implant this on their own descendant. This was all because of humans greed and desire for more power.

"Yes— Yes… my grandfather… The one that the master healed tried to stop them but he was unable to do so. In the end he… he perished. The only reason why I survived was because… was because of the treasure that master had given me. It directed me to the teleportation array just a few towns away from here." He kept his head lowered, hiding the extreme anger in his eyes. The reason why he wasn't able to save his grandfather was because he was weak. He, Dong Hu was a weakling!

"Stop blaming yourself and focus on your growth instead." Mo Li said. "You should use this as a way to inspire yourself to grow stronger. Then once you have the strength. Kill them… their families… their chickens and dogs. Do everything to satisfy your thirst for vengeance." He said.

Slowly, Dong Hu nodded.

"Follow me." Mo Li rose from his seat and led Dong Hu to his own cave just near the entrance of Mo Li's immortal cave. This was the farthest room from where Mo Li and Fang Yu are staying. Of course, he did this on purpose. After all, he and his wife are still on the honeymoon phase and would stay like this in the next one hundred years. He wouldn't want this disciple of his to disturb them. "This is your room. It is complete with amenities. You don't need to explore the other rooms in my immortal cave. You won't have the ability to open it anyway. Here… take this." He waved his hands and gave him a lot of pills and notebooks. "Study and become stronger. With your darkness affinity, this is the best cultivation for you. Also… take the pills so you will recover then start cultivating. If you have questions… you can only ask me after three days." He spoke so fast Dong Hu couldn't help but wonder what was wrong with his master.

"Yes. I understand."

"Good. Don't disturb me in the next three days. If someone will come and find me. Just tell them I'm not here. Oh… the key to my formation is on those notebooks as well. Study it. I have to go now."

"…" What was wrong with his master?
